The M84 Marksman Carbine is best utilized in distanced engagements. Use the default scope to scan for enemy targets and the variable scope to align more precise shots. A shot from the waist up on any enemy (besides Heavies) will result in an immediate kill, so concise precision is rarely necessary. Three clean headshots are usually enough to dispatch heavily armored foes, though the rifle cannot be hip fired or blind fired from behind cover. The M84 is based on the Lee-Enfield Jungle Carbine, which itself is anachronistic by over 50 years.
